Akemi Homura 7,680 February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 I'm not sure if this has been answered yet, but I'll ask anyway. Will there be a March Madness for the most attractive pony competition in a similar format to the NCAA basketball championships? First of all, this is the final round of the tournament and second of all, this tournament will always have the NFL playoff format in use for as long as this tournament exists. Please read the OP next time before posting? Umm... Why does Fluttershy have Cheerilee's Cutie Mark in the Magic Bowl OP photo? KInd of odd, don't you think? I suggest a change. That was on purpose. There way Cheerilee's cutie mark was designed, I thought of it as a nice reflection of what the series tries to teach its audience and Fluttershy's personality fit in very well with it. So I coined it universal and it was deserving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion RD92 8,658 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 So it comes down to this... Overrated Pony vs. Pointless Background Pony I'm not voting for either for them, there were other ponies that deserved it much more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,393 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 (edited) This one is so very hard. I mean its Fluttershy... Last round was so very easy. Lyra beats Twilight and Fluttershy used the stare and yeah. It is unfortunate I never had a shot at voting for Cloudchaser. She has a unique look to her.

Milk Wave 454 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Ugh.. God. I wish it didnt come to this, since Lyra is one of my 2 favourite background ponies and Fluttershy, well... But it is now time for me to choose one pony.. And that pony isssssss, I really cant decide, so ill just go with the Luna under all the other votes in between the crack in the space/time continuum. A shoutout to Dr-Whooves for making this sweet thing~ Anyway, go ahead and visit my http://mlpforums.com/user/380-sirius-crescent/'>About Me page for my characters :3 Engaged to Steel Crescent as of 5/1/2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi the Atmomancer 564 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 So it comes down to this... Overrated Pony vs. Pointless Background Pony I'm not voting for either for them, there were other ponies that deserved it much more. Is it really necessary to be so begrudging about a tournament? Several of my choices have been knocked out but I didn't moan about how nobody else deserved to win, I moved with the times. As has been stated before this tournament isn't the end all and be all of the most attractive pony. It's just a bit of fun. 2 "Humanity is the end; knowledge is the means; I will not rest until there are no more secrets to be discovered; I will not rest until there are no more ways to improve; I will not rest until there are no more problems to be solved; I will wield no weapon but my wits and intellect; With these weapons I will battle ignorance until the light of knowledge shines bright; When the light of knowledge shines upon us all, then I shall rest, and not before." - Atmomancer Creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sks_Burns 730 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 This one is so very hard. I mean its Fluttershy... Last round was so very easy. Lyra beats Twilight and Fluttershy used the stare and yeah. It is unfortunate I never had a shot at voting for Cloudchaser. She has a unique look to her. Cloudchaser would be runner up in my book, right behind her sister. Dat mane is just too cool to ignore, and her color combination gives her a mix of icy and warm at the same time. love her. 1 "If all I care about in life is the imprints I make in this world, then the most I'll ever leave is a grave."

You mean the same pony who managed to blast her way through three mane characters and into the final round? There's no such thing as a pointless background pony if they manage to get that much support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no such thing as a pointless background pony if they manage to get that much support. Exactly. And I don't think Derpy or Octavia would get this much criticism if they were in Lyra's position now. We would say, "well, that's different, it's Derpy/Octavia." There's an unspoken hierarchy of background ponies, at least in our minds. By the time this is done (win or lose, because I'm voting for her beauty) I hope Lyra is up there with them. Celestia knows her fan work rivals Octavia's in quality and quantity, and she hasn't caused half as much trouble and disagreement in the fan base as Derpy. I think she deserves their level of recognition on these boards. As far as ponies I really like who didn't win: Dash, Rarity, Octavia, and Daring Do all say hi.

Lateon 589 February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 (edited) Nurse Redheart never stood a chance, and neither did Roseluck. /cry I'm trying to remember my votes for the very first time...I think it went something like: Twilight (pre-Lyra Schism) Vinyl Scratch Cheerilee Roseluck Nurse Redheart Spitfire Octavia Fluttershy. Damn, I voted for a lot of background ponies/secondary characters, actually. Roseluck got stomped, Cheerliee barely missed (I think) and Nurse Redheart was with Derpy. Oh, wait...Cheerliee and Lyra were tied! Holy hell, I totally forgot! To think that Alfonzo could have ended the Schism before it ever happened...it's a harrowing thought, that's for sure.

It's just like the Giants squeaking into the playoffs in 2011 and eventually going through a really tough road to win the Super Bowl.

Shanks 10,816 February 2, 2013 Share February 2, 2013 I take my eyes off for a few days and Fluttershy is taking the beating of a lifetime, this is starting to remind me of how Twilight slaughtered Vinyl Scratch in one of the previous rounds.

Way to go guys, you ruined what could have been a great tournament. don't you think that's occurred at a lot of levels? It seems to me that a lot of voting is occurring on who people like versus who is attractive. Or maybe people do prefer Lyra's looks...or maybe the Flutter voters haven't turned out yet Either way this tourney was probably doomed from the start by people voting on things other than attractiveness popularity is a bitch Edited February 3, 2013 by Cupcake Ice Cream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,333 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 People seemingly simply couldn't accept that there are more Lyra fans in this subforum than Fluttershy fans What's stopping you from going out there and spreading the word to other Fluttershy fans that might have no idea about this competition? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go guys, you ruined what could have been a great tournament. You've found us out, how could anyone possibly be a Lyra fan anyways. She's just a stupid background pony. /end sarcasm However if they do indeed vote for Lyra just to troll the competition, then they're doing it for the wrong reasons. It doesn't prove anything, but you can make all of the wild accusations you want to. Something tells me that Lyra being in this tournament made fans realize how attractive she actually is. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateon 589 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 Peeks inside thread, finds Lyra ahead by 40+ votes. Welp, someone come get me in 6 days, when things get actually maybe more interesting. Lyra's winning, which is nice, but it's by such a gigantic margin that I'm quite uninterested in the day-to-day developments. Lyra fought tooth-and-nail for the past three weeks to be here, and now she gets a free ride? I'm sort of disappointed, to say the least. It's like ganking a lowbie, or killing someone who's lagging, or killing someone when you're fed in LoL - it isn't a fair fight, in my mind. Boring. A given. Fluttershy fans, where did you go? Why did you give up? Fight with honor! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 Well, I knew this tournament would have unexpected endings since the beginning. I guess we could all say, Lyra is really giving Fluttershy a run for her money. My faith is still alive in Fluttershy, but Lyra is just not giving up! Even Lyra is surprised. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sks_Burns 730 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 well im disappointed. what made this torny so much fun was the back and forths, the voting battles, the pic wars in the threads, etc. its all but faded out, like all the Fluttershy fans just backed off and gave up. Both ponies are here for a reason, and the fight is completely one sided. come on Fluttershy fans! rally your troops and close that gap! 5 "If all I care about in life is the imprints I make in this world, then the most I'll ever leave is a grave."
